The full roster has been revealed for EA SPORTS UFC 2. Featuring 250+ male and female fighters across ten weight classes, the roster includes legends, current competitors, as well as Mike Tyson.

Several fighters exist across numerous weight classes, meaning there are multiple versions of some putting the number of unique competitors below the 250 mark. However, with such a large and diverse roster, the game should benefit from a varied experience within career mode, hopefully minimizing repeat matches and/or career paths, and also providing a significant number of options for users across the game modes.

With his 13 second knockout victory Saturday night, Conor McGregor will join Ronda Rousey on the cover of EA SPORTS UFC 2 coming Spring 2016. The two were heavily featured in the initial media release for the title, indicating EA's desire to have them as cover athletes as they are currently considered the most marketable fighters in the UFC.

For the first time ever, the winner of a real-world sporting event will be named a video game cover athlete. Next Saturday night's UFC World Featherweight Championship at UFC 194 will feature Conor McGregor vs. Jose Aldo and the winner will join Ronda Rousey on the cover of EA SPORTS UFC 2.

Following Rousey's upset loss to Holly Holm following her announcement as co-cover athlete, this methodology ensures a winner and champion will likely be on the cover for UFC 2's spring release.

Users can make their fight prediction at UFC.com/EASPORTS and then see a unique in-game video of their predicted outcome.

EA SPORTS UFC 2 will not be released until Spring 2016, but EA SPORTS has already released basic information on some of the features coming to the title.
